Description

The Nexus 2000 Series Fabric Extender is a remote line card for a parent Nexus switch, extending the switch fabric to the top of rack without adding another device to manage. It suits data centre racks where server connections need to be managed centrally from the parent switch.

This model provides 32 host-facing 10GBASE-T ports for copper server connections and 8 SFP+ ports for 10G uplinks to the parent Nexus switch. The fabric extender is configured and monitored from the parent switch rather than as a standalone device.

Enquire with XS Network Tech for new or used pricing and availability.

FAQs

Q: How is a fabric extender managed?
A: A Nexus 2000 Series fabric extender is managed through its parent Nexus switch and does not run as an independent switch.

Q: What are the SFP+ ports used for?
A: The 8 SFP+ ports are the fabric uplinks that connect the fabric extender to its parent Nexus switch at 10G.

Q: What type of servers connect to the 10GBASE-T ports?
A: The 32 host ports use 10GBASE-T copper and suit servers with 10GBASE-T network adapters over twisted-pair cabling.

Q: Can it operate without a parent switch?
A: No. A fabric extender needs a compatible parent Nexus switch to provide its configuration and forwarding.
